1 Introduction
This document is intended to describe the electrical specifications of the Cypress wind turbines and highlight
common topics related to grid interconnection.
2 Technology
The Cypress wind turbine is variable speed and employs a doubly fed induction generator with a partial power
converter interfacing to the grid.
Unless stated otherwise, all the data shown is based on the secondary connection of the Wind Turbine Generator
System (WTGS) transformer (6000 V and 690 V connections).
3 Turbine Transformer
Each wind turbine should be connected through a three-winding step-up WTGS transformer to the MV wind farm
collection system.
The primary-side rated voltage of the system transformer is based on the nominal voltage of the medium-voltage
network. The secondary rated voltage of the system transformer is 6 kV, the tertiary side 690 V. The switching group
of the system transformer is Dyn11yn11.
Transformer rating details and parameters can be provided on request based on the wind turbine configuration
applicable for a project. Transformer nominal rating is temperature dependent.
Permanent changes to the steady state voltage at the LV terminals due to changes of the MV level in the grid or
collector system may result in a reduction of the active and reactive power range or even in a turbine trip. If such a
permanent change is desired, a turbine transformer tap changer can be used, which usually offer
+/- 2 x 2.5 % voltage change. If greater change in voltage is required a different transformer should be selected.
Additionally, changes to steady state voltages can be addressed utilizing the substation transformer where
applicable.

4 Frequency Tolerance
The Cypress wind turbine is capable of operating within the following frequencies and for the corresponding time
durations:
50 Hz Frequency Range (Hz) 60 Hz Frequency Range (Hz) Time Duration(s)
47.0 – 53.0 57.0 – 63.0 Continuous

45.0 – 47.0 55.0 – 57.0 60
53.0 – 55.0 63.0 – 65.0 60
Table 1: Frequency Tolerance
5 Voltage Tolerance & Fault Ride-Thru

Cypress wind turbines are equipped with a Low Voltage Ride-Thru (LVRT) feature which enables the wind turbine to
continue to operate during (“ride-through”) and after transmission system faults. These faults cause voltage
variations within the wind farm, resulting in severe voltage dip at the wind farm.
Where requested the Seller is also able to extend this fault ride through capability with the zero-voltage ride-thru
(ZVRT) optional feature described below.
The voltages in Table 2 are referenced to the turbine transformer MV side (e.g.: 30 kV).
NOTE
The capability described below depends on active and reactive current provision
from the turbine during LVRT and ZVRT events. If during such disturbances certain
limits to inject active and/or reactive current are required as a special exception,
project specific capability information according to these conditions can be
provided on request.

6 Protection
The GE wind turbine has the following built-in protection functions:
 Overvoltage/Undervoltage
 Over Frequency/Under Frequency
 Voltage Imbalance
 Ground fault protection
Additionally, the medium voltage breaker which is located down-tower provides overcurrent protection and includes
configurable instantaneous, short-time and long-time settings.
These functions are designed to offer a level of protection to the wind turbine hardware from disturbances caused by
the electrical system.
1 A specific waveform based on field experience has been used to represent transients while evaluating capability against capacitor switch transients ride
through capability.
2 Referring to the secondary side of the turbine transformer.
3 Linear behaviour between 20 % with up to 1 s and 70 % with up to 3 s.
4 The converter will stop pulsing after 200 ms. No control of reactive power during initial voltage recovery.
The Seller strongly recommends protecting the MV system against transient and temporary overvoltage, which are
caused by:
 Impulse transient voltages (due to lightning effects)

 Temporary over voltages (withstand capability see Table 2)
 Switching transient
The customer is responsible for overvoltage mitigation actions on the MV system. Grounding transformers,
automatic grounding switches on the feeder breakers or special surge arrester configurations will be required to
prevent MV over voltages when the feeder breakers are opened and the MV system loses its ground reference at the
substation.
7 Minimum Grid Strength

Cypress wind turbine is designed to operate with a composite short circuit ratio (CSCR) above 1.4 (on a MW base) at
the medium voltage side of the turbine transformer. Composite SCR is defined as the ratio of the Composite short
circuit MVA to the sum of the nameplate MW of all electrically close wind turbine generators and other inverter-
based resources (IBR within and outside the wind farm of interest. The Composite short circuit MVA is calculated for
a 3-phase short circuit applied to the medium voltage side of all the turbine transformers that are electrically close
within and outside the wind farm of interest, interconnected with zero impedance between each other. The
composite short circuit MVA calculation should reflect the maximum grid impedance under which the wind farm is
expected to continue normal operation.
The composite short circuit MVA should not include the short circuit contribution from the wind turbine generators
and other IBRs. The denominator in the calculation of CSCR is the sum of the nameplate MW and must include all
wind turbine generators in the proposed wind farm as well as other IBRs that are electrically close, which will need to
be determined on a project-specific basis for different grid conditions
The CSCR capability of 1.4 is determined based on a broad set of operating points, network parameters and grid
contingencies considering wind farm with only GE turbines in the electrical vicinity. It is to be noted that the grid
strength where the wind farm of interest is connecting is system-specific and cannot be fully ascertained based on
the CSCR metric. For a wind farm application involving complex networks with multiple wind farms or other power
electronic devices in the electrical vicinity, especially from multiple vendors, the minimum CSCR may be higher.
Depending on the outcome of the screening study a more in-depth study may be needed to quantify the grid
strength and assess the viability of the wind farm application. The evaluation of operation at low CSCR values is
typically based on transient simulations of the network considering a range of operating points, network parameters
and grid contingencies, which differ from project to project.
Detailed methodology for calculation of CSCR available upon request. For complex networks with multiple wind
farms in the vicinity of each other the information required to calculate CSCR accurately may be available only to the
grid operator.Coordination with grid authorities on performance requirements may be needed as CSCR approaches
1.4 since the controls may need to be tuned for slower response to maintain stability. Furthermore, the CSCR
capabilities indicated here are based on GE preferred converter configuration. If local grid codes require a different
converter configuration for a project, the minimum CSCR capability may be higher than stated here.
NOTE
The CSCR capability described above depends on active and reactive current
provision from the turbine during LVRT and ZVRT events. If during such
disturbances certain limits to inject active and/or reactive current are required as
a special exception, project specific CSCR capability information according to
these conditions can be provided on request.
If a grid operator has a concern on the short circuit ratio, GE can provide a black box PSCAD model of the wind farm
that can be used for transient simulations of the network for the purpose of determining expected performance. If a
grid operator decides to perform such a study, it is essential that GE be involved to highlight how changes within the
product capability can achieve the desired performance. Alternatively, If the grid operator can define the
requirements for such a study and is willing to provide GE with the details of the network, then GE Energy Consulting
can be contracted to perform the study.
The wind turbine system protection is designed for a minimum short circuit of 40 MVA at the turbine medium
voltage (MV) terminals.
8 Reactive Power Capability

The 4.8 -6.1-158 MW for both 50 and 60 Hz and 6.0-164 MW only for 50 Hz wind turbines have a standard reactive
power capability corresponding to a power factor of 0.90 lagging (overexcited) to 0.90 leading (under excited) above
50 kW.
An option for expanded reactive power capability 0.87 leading to 0.87 lagging under de-rated conditions is available
upon request for 50 Hz only. This wider reactive power capability could help meet a 0.95 power factor requirement at
the point of interconnection. Under Noise Reduced Operation (NRO) modes, depending on ambient conditions and
grid voltage, the reactive power capability and/or the wind turbine generator system’s power output may be
affected. Please refer to Appendix II for the reactive power capability diagram.
9 WindFREE Reactive Power

As an optional feature available upon request, the Cypress wind turbine can supply or consume reactive power
(±600 kVAR) even when there is no active power generation (i.e. wind below cut-in speed and above 0m/s). This
feature is called WindFREE Reactive Power and is achieved by utilizing capabilities of the line-side converter.
10 WindINERTIA
With the optional “WindINERTIA” feature, the Cypress Platform – 50 and 60 Hz wind turbines can provide inertia-
based Fast Frequency Response (FFR) to help stabilizing grid frequency. This feature supports the grid during under
frequency events by providing a temporary increase in power production (5-10% rated power increase) for a short
duration (5-10 sec), contributing towards frequency recovery. This is e.g. achieved by tapping into the stored kinetic
energy in the rotor mass. The response can be configured based on requirements specified by the grid operator. For
the 5.8MW and higher ratings there is a reduced WindINERTIA capability around rated power (~ 11-13 m/s). Full
WindINERTIA capability is available as an option.
11 Series Compensation Compatibility

Wind turbine generators (WTGs) connected to series compensated transmission can exhibit sub-synchronous
interaction (SSI). For Cypress turbines, an option exists to reduce the risk of SSI when operating with series
compensated transmission lines. This option provides damping to reduce the effect of SSI and sub-synchronous
resonances (SSR). Depending on evaluation of actual conditions associated with the wind farm, GE Energy Consulting
can be contracted to evaluate compatibility for grid connections with high levels of series compensation. Should the
option for operation with series compensated transmission not be selected, the base capability of the Cypress
turbines includes a detection algorithm for SSR. When a SSR situation is detected, the WTG is tripped.
Coordination with grid authorities on performance requirements may be needed for projects with series-
compensation, as certain converter configurations designed to meet regional grid codes may adversely impact
performance/stability when used in series-compensated applications.
12 Plant Level Control and Voltage Regulation

GE’s WindCONTROL is a voltage / power factor/ reactive power controller that exploits the reactive power capability
of the individual wind turbine to meet a voltage / power factor/ reactive set point at the point of interconnection
("Dynamic VAR Control "). It measures the voltage and current at the point of interconnection (POI) and controls the
wind farm’s reactive power to regulate the voltage or power factor at POI. Through a graphical user interface (GUI),
the user selects the mode of operation and enters the corresponding voltage / power factor / reactive set point.
WindCONTROL is available with the following optional grid friendly features (see WindCONTROL overview for more
info):
 Dynamic VAR Control

 Line Drop Compensation
 Voltage Droop
 Power Curtailment
 Capacitor/Reactor Bank Control
 Ramp Rate Control
 Frequency Droop Control
 Plant WindINERTIA
13 Harmonic Distortion
Harmonic distortion data for respective 50 Hz and 60 Hz machines are presented relevant to IEC and IEEE
requirements.
13.1 IEC 50 Hz Harmonics Distortion

The Cypress wind turbine is speed variable as a result of the IGBT converter. The rotor blades are controlled
individually. With this technology, it is possible to minimize the periodic torque fluctuation caused by the tower wake
effect. As a result, no relevant power or voltage fluctuations arise. A measurement report is available upon request.
Switching procedures: The Cypress wind turbine does not have any significant in-rush kmax = Imax/InG = 1
(parameter as per IEC 61400-21).
13.2 IEEE 60 Hz Harmonics Distortion

Cypress wind turbine current harmonic distortion is within limits specified below in IEEE Std. 519-2014, “IEEE
Recommended Practices and Requirements for Harmonic Control in Electrical Power Systems.” Limits are
summarized in Table 3.
 PCC is the point of common coupling

 TDD is the total demand distortion (THD normalized by the current In)
 In is the maximum fundamental frequency current at PCC
 Even Harmonics shall be limited to 25 % of the odd harmonics limits.
Voltage @ PCC 3 < h < 11 11 ≤ h < 17 17 ≤ h < 23 23 ≤ h < 35 35 < h ≥ 50 Current TDD %
V ≤ 69 kV 4.0 2.0 1.5 0.6 0.3 5.0
Table 3: IEEE Current Distortion Limits
14 System Modeling
14.1 Wind Turbine Short Circuit Modeling
The Cypress wind turbine generator is a doubly-fed asynchronous generator with the stator directly connected to
the grid while the rotor is interfaced through a frequency converter to the grid. For most faults that occur on the grid,
the turbine will act as a controlled current source- contributing up to 3 per unit fault current for up to 5 cycles, after
which it returns to normal current contribution (i.e. 1 per unit). For faults on the grid, the contribution from the
turbines is minimal compared to that from the grid.
One exception is for “close in” faults (e.g.: inside the wind farm, at the wind farm substation etc.) where, depending
on the severity, the converter may “crowbar” (i.e. short-circuit itself to protect the power electronics within). In this
case the turbine rotor is short circuited like that of a squirrel cage induction generator.
According to the IEC 60909-0 ed. 2 the behavior can be calculated by applying the following parameters:
Rated voltage at WTGS transformer

primary connection
Name Parameter description acc. to IEC 60909-0 ed.2
20 kV 30 kV
the highest instantaneous short-circuit value in case of a three-

iWDmax 1.8 kA 1.2 kA
phase short circuit on the stator terminals of the generator
KWd factor for the calculation of the peak short-circuit current 1.7
Table 4: Parameters for the calculation of short circuit currents according to IEC 60909-0 ed. 2
Parameters for other rated voltages at WTGS transformer primary connection can be inter- or extrapolated
accordingly.
If other short circuit current calculation methods should be applied, the WTGS behavior can be approximated by
X’’ = 0.2, contributing a max of 5.0 per unit fault current given for the secondary/ tertiary side of the WTGS
transformer.
14.2 Wind Turbine Dynamic Modeling

A dynamic model of the GE wind turbine is under way in GE’s dynamic simulation program known as Power System
Load Flow (PSLF® – GE Energy Consulting), Power System Simulation for Engineering (PSS/E) and PowerFactory® (PF
– DigSilent). Any user with a valid license and current maintenance and support (M&S) agreement of the respective
software can obtain the latest GE Wind turbine model in that software from GE once available. The model will come
with documentation and default data. The dynamic model is based on GE’s documents “Modeling of GE Wind
Turbine-Generators for Grid Studies”.
14.3 Wind Turbine Transient Modeling

GE Energy Consulting maintains a transient model of the GE wind turbine and can be contracted to perform detailed
studies.
14.4 Wind Dynamic Model Validation

The dynamic model of the GE wind turbine implemented in PSLF, has been validated by comparing the response to
simulations performed in WindTRAP (transient program). Simulations show closely matching results with a small
offset in the wind turbine’s reactive power and reactive current. High-frequency transients in WindTRAP are not
expected to be present in PSLF simulations. Details of PSLF validation are in the document “Modeling of GE Wind
Turbine-Generators for Grid Studies”.
14.5 Wind Turbine Transient Model Validation

The transient model of the GE wind turbine has been validated against factory tests for three-phase and
line-to- ground faults at the generator terminals. Results show that simulations closely matched recorded data.
15 Power Demand
The Power demand of the wind turbine generator system during calm wind periods can include e.g., yaw motor,
control system, lighting and hydraulic pump and amount to a maximum 80 kW if all loads are operating at the same
time.
16 Generator Equivalent Data
Generator equivalent data available upon request.
17 Wind Farm Open Circuit Protection

Wind turbines are controlled current sources and need to be connected to the grid for proper operation. The effect of
an open circuit event (islanding) on the wind turbine’s converter is related to the charging capacitance that is
present in the island. Islanding under high capacitance may result in transient over voltages that can lead to power
converter component damage. To protect the power converter against this condition, GE wind turbines utilize a
proprietary algorithm to detect an open-circuit event and initiate a shut-down to safely take the turbine off line
while protecting against high voltage excursions. Open-circuit detection is determined based on analysis of three
elements: voltage, frequency, and real power output. Since the machine behaves as a controlled current source,
overvoltage is typically a first indicator, but other diagnostics, such as frequency deviation and reduction in real
power output are used to confirm the open-circuit condition. The algorithms differentiate open-circuit events, which
require the unit to shut down, from voltage and frequency ride-through events, which require turbines to stay on-line
and ride-through the event.
Since charging capacitance plays a vital role in the level of protection that can be achieved, it is important that the
per turbine charging capacitance be calculated. In this calculation, the wind farm collection system and the portion of
the transmission lines outside the wind farm that may be part of the island should be considered. Guidelines for
calculation per turbine charging capacitance are provided in a GE white paper. Protection against an open-circuit
event is achieved if the per turbine charging capacitance is less than 1600 kVAR at the time of the event.

during cold soak for ambient temperatures below -30 °C.
Appendix II – Active/Reactive Power Capability Curves

The reactive power capability of the Cypress wind turbines at the secondary connection of the WTGS transformer is
represented here. All curves assume an altitude of 1000 m or less, and voltages between 0.9pu and 1.1pu at the
secondary (reference: sum of powers at turbine transformer secondary and tertiary side) connection of the WTGS
transformer.
For any curve in the diagram: if the ambient temperature or the altitude is higher than specified for the particular
model, or if the voltage is outside of the specified range, then de-rating may be necessary to meet the demanded
reactive power output.
Voltage depending active and/or reactive power limitation as shown on PQ capability diagrams might occur within
the specified voltage range.
When the WTGS is in Noise Reduced Operation (NRO) mode of operation, the reactive power capability and power
output will be affected by the combination of ambient temperature and grid voltage.
When the plant level controller is in the voltage control or in the VAR control mode, and de rating is required due to
the conditions listed above, the turbines will operate with a Q priority i.e. they will sacrifice active power if necessary
to meet the reactive power demand up to the listed capability in normal operation. Under NRO mode operation, the
listed capability may be affected by ambient temperature and grid voltage.
